SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 7, 2006, the Department
published the preliminary results of the
2004–2005 antidumping duty
administrative review of certain forged
stainless steel flanges from India. See
Preliminary Results. The review covers
Paramount Forge (Paramount) and
Echjay Forgings Ltd. (Echjay), and the
period February 1, 2004, through
Manufacturer / Exporter
January 31, 2005. In the Preliminary
Results, we invited parties to comment.
We received no comments.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order
are certain forged stainless steel flanges,
both finished and not finished,
generally manufactured to specification
ASTM A–182, and made in alloys such
as 304, 304L, 316, and 316L. The scope
includes five general types of flanges.
They are weld–neck, used for butt–weld
line connection; threaded, used for
threaded line connections; slip–on and
lap joint, used with stub–ends/butt–
weld line connections; socket weld,
used to fit pipe into a machined
recession; and blind, used to seal off a
line. The sizes of the flanges within the
scope range generally from one to six
inches; however, all sizes of the above–
described merchandise are included in
the scope. Specifically excluded from
the scope of this order are cast stainless
steel flanges. Cast stainless steel flanges
generally are manufactured to
specification ASTM A–351. The flanges
subject to this order are currently
classifiable under subheadings
7307.21.1000 and 7307.21.5000 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTUS). Although the
HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise
under review is dispositive of whether
or not the merchandise is covered by the
scope of the order.
Final Results of the Review
We determine the following
percentage weighted–average margins
exist for the period February 1, 2004,
through January 31, 2005:

(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries. In accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where
appropriate, we have calculated
exporter/importer–specific assessment
rates. To calculate these rates, we
divided the total dumping margins for
the reviewed sales by the total entered
value of those reviewed sales for each
importer. Id. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we shall instruct CBP to
liquidate without regard to antidumping

assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less
than 0.5 percent). The Department will
issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP within 15
days of publication of these final results
of review. We will direct CBP to assess
the appropriate assessment rate against
the entered Customs values for the
subject merchandise on each of the
importer’s entries under the relevant
order during the POR.

the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recent period
for the manufacturer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other manufacturers or

(February 9, 1994). These deposit
requirements shall remain in effect until
the publication of the final results of the
next administrative review.
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant
entries during this review period.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in the Secretary’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping or countervailing duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written
notification of the return or destruction
of APO materials or conversion to
judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the
regulations and terms of an APO is a
violation which is subject to sanction.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act
and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

Announcement of meeting and
comment period.
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Office of Technology and
Electronic Commerce (OTEC) invites
stakeholders to submit comments on the
development and implementation of
‘‘cross-border privacy rules’’ in the AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation Group
(APEC). OTEC will also hold a public
meeting at the U.S. Department of
Commerce in Washington, DC on June
13, 2006. Written and electronic
comments will be accepted until June
14, 2006. Topics to be discussed at the
public meeting will include: the efficacy
or need of cross-border privacy rules,
obstacles to their creation, among other
related issues.
DATES: Written and electronic comments
are due by June 14, 2006. If you would
like to attend the meeting please
respond by June 9, 2006. The public
meeting will take place on June 13,
2006. The meeting time is TBD.
ADDRESSES: All comments concerning
this notice and requests to attend the
meeting should be sent to the attention
of Eric M. Holloway at one of the
following addresses. See supplementary
information for additional instructions
on submitting comments.

Room TBD.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eric
Holloway, Policy Analyst, Office of
Technology and Electronic Commerce,

The
principles-based ‘‘APEC Privacy
Framework’’ (Framework) is an
important tool in encouraging the
development of appropriate information
privacy protections and ensuring the
free flow of information between the
member economies of APEC. There are
21 APEC member economies: Australia,
Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, the
People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong,
Indonesia, Japan, the Republic of Korea,
Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Papua
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Frm 00029
Fmt 4703

New Guinea, Peru, Philippines, Russia,
Singapore, Chinese Taipei, Thailand,
the United States, and Vietnam.
The Framework can be accessed on
the APEC Web site at http://
203.127.220.112/content/apec/apec
_groups/som_special_task_groups/
electronic_
commerce.downloadlinks.0004.
LinkURL.Download.ver5.1.9. This
Framework, which aims at promoting
electronic commerce throughout the
Asia-Pacific region, is consistent with
the core values of the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and
Development’s 1980 Guidelines on the
Protection of Privacy and Trans-Border
Flows of Personal Data, and reaffirms
the value of privacy to individuals and
to the information society. The
Framework is also intended to provide
clear guidance and direction to
businesses in APEC economies on
common privacy issues and the impact
of privacy issues upon the way
legitimate businesses are conducted.
An important element of the
Framework is the development and
implementation of ‘‘cross-border
privacy rules’’ (CBPRs) in the APEC
region. The purpose of CBPRs would be
to enable global organizations that
collect, access, use, or process data in
APEC member economies to develop
and implement uniform approaches
within their organizations for global
access to and use of personal
information. A uniform approach to
CBPRs in APEC would allow for one
approval system for CBPRs instead of
the potential for approval systems for
each of the 21 member economies.
The Office of Technology and
Electronic Commerce requests
comments on the development and
implementation of CBPRs in the APEC
region. The Office of Technology and
Electronic Commerce encourages
comments on all aspects of CBPRs.
General areas of discussion could
include: (1) Impediments to the crossborder flow of information, (2) issues
related to personal information
protection, (3) the verification process
for CBPRs’ compliance with the APEC
Privacy Principles, (4) mechanisms for
the approval of CBPRs, (5) mechanisms
to demonstrate compliance with CBPRs,
(6) mechanisms to enforce compliance
of CBPRs, (7) mechanisms to ensure
support of the concept of CBPRs by
APEC member economies, and (8)
mechanisms to foster cooperation
among various regulatory bodies to
resolve cross-border disputes related to
CBPRs.

Liquidation
The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where appropriate, we

each importer. Id. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we shall instruct
CBP to liquidate without regard to antidumping duties any entries for
which the assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent).
The Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly
to CBP within 15 days of publication of these final results of review.
We will direct CBP to assess the appropriate assessment rate against
the entered Customs values for the subject merchandise on each of the
importer's entries under the relevant order during the POR.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for
the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4)
the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will
continue to be 162.14 percent. This rate is the ``All Others'' rate
from the amended final determination in the LTFV investigation. See
